Join 天涯社区 for our upcoming Landlord Forum, bringing together landlords and property professionals for practical updates, expert advice and the opportunity to ask questions about important issues affecting the private rented sector. 

This session will feature contributions from our Council Tax team, Anthony Houghton on Making Tax Digital, and Lou Elford, who will be available to answer questions relating to VAT. 

Whether you own a single rental property or manage a larger portfolio, this forum is an opportunity to gain useful information, clarify your responsibilities and speak directly with the relevant specialists.

2. Making Tax Digital – Anthony Houghton
